The Sky Blue joker says he and his team-mates think the Angry Michael Doyle parody is ‘brilliant’ but admits he’s not brave enough to do it himself.

The spoof account plays on the City skipper’s no-nonsense reputation whenever he pulls on his boots, whether in training or a match, with often hilarious tweets that have become popular among many fans, the account attracting almost 3,000 followers.

“It’s brilliant,” said Davies , a fully paid up member of City’s Pompey mafia who is often at the centre of the dressing room banter at Ryton.

Responding to the news that the Leamington and Warwick Supporters’ Club had voted Doyle player of the month for August: “This isn’t surprising news. The Leamington & Warwick supporters club have also confirmed that I will be their player of the month for September & October.”

Posting a video of manager Mark Robins leading the singing celebrations with the fans’ favourite terrace ditty, ‘1, 2, 3, 4...We’ve got Michael Doyle...’ in a Leamington pub after City’s promotion at Wembley: “You know that feeling when you’ve finished work for the day and then your boss starts singing songs about your brilliance.”

Posting a picture of two managers City fans love to hate, former Notts County boss Kevin Nolan and Peterborough's Steve Evans (see below):

Tweeting midway through City’s 1-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle last month, courtesy of a first half penalty from Amadou Bakayoko: “Man of the match for the 1st half is my my good friend & sky blue hero, referee Andrew Drysdale. If he keeps this up 2nd half, his kids will be returned to him at 5pm.”

On hearing that Tom Bayliss had been called up for England Under-19 duty earlier in the summer: “What a fantastic week for Tom Bayliss. Yesterday, I let him polish all my old football boots and now this. This lad is on the up!”

Posting a picture of Doyle and Marc McNulty embracing each other during a goal celebration after the striker’s move to Reading was confirmed: “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

Responding to the announcement that fellow midfielder Liam Kelly had signed a new and improved contract this summer: “Never heard of him. Where did we sign him from?”

The day City signed Shrewsbury Town skipper and fellow midfield enforcer Abu Ogogo he suggested a quick Twitter poll: “With the signing of Agogo, who’s the best hard man, holding midfielder in the squad? Like for Doyle. Retweet for Doyle.”

Reflecting on victory in sub zero temperatures on a Tuesday night in February: “As we arrived, we heard the Wycombe players whingeing about the cold so me and Sparky changed into short-sleeved shirts.
